Pretty unbelievable experience with this gorgeous Black Bear the other night! I headed up to the Maroon Bells around sunset with my family, intended to have a little picnic, a casual hike, and maybe snap some photos. The Maroon Bells are famously a big landscape view, perfect for a wide angle lens like the 24-70, but I carried my 100-400 with me anyway because you just never know! It feels silly to have 30lbs of camera gear with you on a casual hike, but I was VERY glad to have the extra weight when we spotted this guys with an elk carcass right on the side of the lake!
